Ol' Turbo's new friends
I pulled up to a random restaurant today, and I couldn't believe the reaction.
Ol' Turbo was freshly washed, its metallic paint gleaming in the sunlight. I'm used to the occasional thumbs up or gas station conversation, but I was not prepared for this. All of the sudden, women in droves dressed in similar attire came pouring out of the restaurant all of which mesmerized with my car. Thankfully I had a camera with me to capture the moment. I had to practically yell to get them to turn away from Ol' Turbo. That's at least how I remember it going down.

Notice how Ol' Turbo's antenna is fully extended.

oh my gosh what a pretty gal sitting on the LF fender, I hope she didn't burn her toosh, did you let the car cool off a little ? like did you come screaming in from a freeway run and these ladies all poured out to pose by your nice car?
I don;t know but one looks a little like she might be on implants or silicone PS I always liked that shade of paint on the 123's!

Awesome! I'll have to try that the next time I'm at hooters. Although I don't think I would allow them to sit on the car...the newer Benzes don't have the thick panels that the old ones do!

Haha I admit, I'm the gullible one. I thought your story was serious. Primarily because in my own little universe, I'd rather face charging escaped zoo tigers than go in and ask for a favor like that |

Did you notice that you parked in the "to go" spot? It appears that they all want to go. This begs the question... How many Hooters girls can fit in a 123? And where do you get to sit.
My car is jealous (note the avitar picture) It's cousin got to have all the fun.

Me, too. It helped that the pics loaded slower than the text.

Other than excellent radio reception for the trip home, nothing changed. The girls did notice it was more large and rigid than his Asian and domestic counterparts in the parking lot.

She must be pretty if Tyler let her sit on the car!
I hope she did not leave butt prints in the wax!
